swan thought i have permission to paraphrase/post: dreamling as a ship posits that the only thing that eludes hob, the embodiment of britishness and all that entails, who has an unquenchable hunger for life and all the time in the world to claim it (an empire the sun can never set on, because it cannot/will not die), is the heart of his stranger - the personification of the collective subconscious. empire can devour the world but it can never colonize the dreams of every person! except that the larger fandom's insistence on him as the universal human implies what if it could. and this is not explored as or considered to be a horror.

#whiteness is always afforded the language of the human #like! what are the implications of one particular nation/state/empire having access to all the power of the collective unconscious #once more i'm reminded of the dreamling fics that used lyrics from hozier's ''eat your young'' as like. romantic. #which is WILD that song is about how capitalism eats EVERYTHING including the future #it is NOT romantic it's HORRIFYING that's the POINT #once again not putting this in the character tag i'm not trying to start fights i'm just #the NARRATIVE FUNCTION of hob matters in that every character's narrative function in sandman matters #bc DREAM is a narrative function who is also a person #so what is it doing in a broader sociocultural or even fandom ecosystem sense #if you posit that hob represents EVERYONE

I truly will never understand people’s disconnect with the idea that Bad People can make Great Art.

#so much work that’s edifying and complex was created by people who aren’t pillars of moralit #and yet you can still find answers in their work that they themselves could not articulate #all art is a ménage a trios babe #between the artist the creation and the viewer #that relationship can produce something greater than the sums of its parts #I swear to god people are so worried about being perceived as “bad’’ #this is what the fucking puritans did to the American collective unconscious #reality is we’re all sin eaters #writblr #bookblr

Know About Your Archetypes

Recurring patterns or universal symbols known as archetypes are present in the human collective unconscious. They stand for universally understood, historically pervasive human experiences, feelings, and actions. These archetypes provide a framework for mythology, narrative, and the human mind. 

The Hero is an important archetype. The journey of a protagonist who embarks on a transforming mission and encounters difficulties is represented by the Hero archetype. This archetype stands for the capacity for progress, bravery, and resistance to adversity in people. The Hero's journey frequently includes a summons to action, a mentor figure, a pivotal conflict, and a return with fresh insight or a priceless gift.          The Trickster is another well-known archetype. The figure who disturbs the status quo and defies authority is the Trickster archetype, who is crafty and mischievous. This archetype personifies the disorganized and erratic elements of human nature. The Trickster frequently acts as a catalyst for change and transformation, dismantling established laws and customs to introduce fresh viewpoints and opportunities.

The Wise Old Man/Woman archetype, last but not least, stands for knowledge, wisdom, and direction. Typically, an older, wiser person who possesses profound insight and understanding is shown as this archetype. The protagonist receives guidance and advice from the Wise Old Man/Woman, who also acts as a mentor or counselor. This archetype stands for the value of learning from the past, the pursuit of knowledge, and self-discovery.

Because they appeal to common human emotions and experiences, archetypes are potent storytelling devices that captivate audiences. They offer a conceptual framework for comprehending the complexity of both human nature and the environment. Storytellers and individuals can draw on the rich reservoir of universal understanding and produce narratives that connect with audiences by knowing and utilizing archetypes.

ajskal tumblr has a (weirdly functional) blacklist for a reason. if someone doesn't tag something you (general) think they should... use the secondary blacklist.

you can put in words that show up in the body of tags. like plantcest. or if you don't want to see them at all? put their url and it'll catch it!

Yep, I've used xkit's blacklist myself for years (not sure if you're saying this for me or for the last anon). There was one word in the fic description that should've been caught by any blacklist of the word "plantcest," but clearly that anon would rather send hate than take responsibility for their own fannish experience.

So I said what I said. If somebody can't handle using a blacklist, then they should block me, because my blog is not a safe place for them. Folks who don't know better than to put their hands on a visibly hot stove need to stay out of the kitchen.

#anon asks #and why are we even applying 'incest' to interdimensional plant people #the only reason I bothered to tag it on ao3 is so people could filter it #that's the ship name and ao3 for some reason did not have it as a standing relationship tag #but they canonically stab each other in the spine and bodily enter the collective unconscious to reproduce #they probably don't have dicks but they do have KNIFE TENTACLES and ARM NUKES #and your first thought is 'ew incest'? #what a bizarre thing to fixate on #amid all that #trigun stampede #spoilers #plantcest #antis and purity wank

always extremely conflicted about dreams style bc on one hand he's put together he's fashion forward he's subtle he's classy... on the other hand he's greasy and he hasn't showered in weeks and he's been wearing the same ratty shirt for five days straight even tho he definitely has an entire closets worth of those grey graphic tees...

i think i need him to not be greasy so i can put him in outfits. but it's hard bc of the fact that he's wearing robes and shit half the time like what's the 2022 equivalent. do i put him in a cardigan or. a maxi dress? that doesn't feel right. maybe a slip dress. w one of those cropped jackets w the fur trim on the cuffs and the collar...im pushing the dream outfit agenda

#ik this is mainly show v comic dream but honestly even in the comic #artists draw him so differently sometimes #it's hard to put a pin on him yanno! #well the collective human unconscious does contain multitudes ig #the sandman #morpheus #dream of the endless #greasy dream has one outfit he goes out in #ft me ignoring the actual modern outfits dream wears to put him in whatever i want #piperposting #one day i will make a little morpheus barbie so i can dress him up #i have not forgotten about skirts but what type of skirt would morpheus wear? there are so many options

i had a dream that i had one of showaddywaddy’s records in my collection somehow(i don’t actually but i want) and i was really happy about it and people were looking at it and talking about it with me in my garage even though i don’t keep them there (my records, not the people. i do not keep people anywhere, people are free to go where they choose)

#me #i don't even know which album it was but #i just suddenly remembered that that was a dream that i had #last night #and then dream-me kept noticing things that suggested that my dad liked them #like little notes or something on the cover or in the cover i can't remember exactly #(my collection used to be my dad's collection and he gave it to me when i moved out) #it might not have been notes but it was something like that #even though i'm pretty sure he didn't know they existed #in real life #but i keep thinking he would have loved them #especially their videos #i keep seeing things they do that i can imagine him laughing so much at #so that's probably what sparked that dream up #well we had almost the same music taste and humor #feels like my unconscious brain trying to make a connection to him #to share the current interest #because he was always there to join me in obsessing about bands #OKAY anyway #i guess today will be an EMOTIONAL day then thank you dream #BYE

On the plus side, I feel like I understand Regulus better now than, perhaps, I ever have.

#unwavering fidelity to people with fickle hearts #(and fickle with people inclined to offer loyalty) #I'm the best I'm the worst #I hate everyone #I need everyone to love me #I want someone to tell me who to be and what to do #I'd rather die than let someone help me tho #kill me save me preserve me for all eternity erase me from the collective unconscious #I haven't slept properly in what feels like a lifetime at this point #I'm transcending to a higher plane #or something

This is a probably more dark sided world that yall are too sane to engage with but the self help people getting a bag off this genocide and harnessing the grief/confusion/anger to market themselves actually has me aghast

#like i knew logically this would happen #but seeing white ppl talk abt the collective unconscious or what have you with no word of genocide #yet grifting off that genocide is so. like what?

when you first met itadori jin, you thought he was so sweet and kind. he was always a little nerdy when he talked about things he loved. "sorry i got carried away" was something he'd often say because he thought he was bothersome. but you never thought that. you liked when his eyes lit up at the silliest science theories. you loved that he was so considerate.

but you know what they say?? nerds are the kinkiest people. when you told jin you want him to fuck you, he turned red. but you had to say it out loud because he wouldn't. he respected you. that, until he had you bent over the couch. you'd never thought he'd be so rough. but that is the thing. he was so unconscious about it. his silly science addicted brain inspected your hole and he knew you'd be able to take it with a little stretching. his large hands were on your back, pushing you further into couch. you had to turn your face to the side to make sure you don't suffocate against the cushion.

"shhh don't move, my dear. i am doing this f'you." his cock was buried deep inside but he wasn't moving. "didn't you say you wanted to do it? i need to make sure you don't get hurt in the process—ahhh fuck don't squeeze me, darling." you couldn't help it. your cunt ached for his thrusts. "i am sorry my dick is too big for you baby. but i am a good boyfriend, right? mmm shit...'n good boyfriends always give their pretty girlfriend what she asks for." he collected your wetness with his fingers and licked them. "mhmm fhuck sweetheart. knew this pretty pussy was sweet the way she was throbbing when i was inspecting her. go on, lovie...tell her to make more juices for your kind boyfriend." jin wasn't even aware how dirty the thing he was saying sounds. he just thought it was normal. he finally thrusted once and you cried out his name, unexpecting the sudden jolt. "feels good, right?" you moaned out a yes. "of course it feels good. now..." he grabbed your waist, "time to marry your pussy with my cock, darling."

#i— i cannot explain this okay? what fo you want me to say? HE IS FINE ASF #jujutsu kaisen smut #jjk x reader #jin itadori #jin itadori x reader #jjk smut #jujutsu kaisen #jujutsu kaisen x reader #jjk drabbles #itadori jin #jujutsu kaisen x you

today in 'experiences that I mistakenly thought were unique and personal' apparently other kids also got an inexplicable high from learning the word 'penultimate' from the Pendragon books in the 2000's.

#lol what #thanks author d j machale for teaching me the word penultimate #this is such a weirdly specific little thing like you would never expect this to even exist as a thought #but somehow I'm not the only person who thought it???? #collective human unconscious confirmed #people who learned it from Series of Unfortunate Events DNI #we are not the same

You guys really need to stop and consider the ways you're talking about Kabru I am dead fucking serious. Like I know that flattening characters is just what fandom does to a certain extent, but Kabru's actual personality is getting lost to the fandom hivemind insisting that he's aggressive/cruel/sociopathic/hateful, and these are particularly concerning takes to see leveled at the only brown character in the main cast day after day. "My poor sweet golden child Laios needs to be protected from this scary brown man" is not a good look! Like, it's very telling that the bulk of the hate and bad faith readings are reserved for Toshiro and Kabru. Everyone else's flaws get to be discussed and validated and forgiven (or erased), meanwhile people are straight making up things to be mad about with Toshiro and Kabru but patting themselves on the back for being smart.

The worst part is how undeserved it all is. I'm trying to lay off anime-onlys because we're still kind of in the red herring stage of getting to know Kabru, but I would still like to gently suggest that even if you think Kabru is up to something, you don't gave to get in the tags of every fan creator's post and bring up how you hate him or You Can Tell he's totally evil. Sometimes I think Kabru's blue eyes give people license to say things about his appearance that they know would sound completely racist otherwise, but referring to his blue eyes acts as a get-out-of-racism free card. The jokes about the dog with brown contacts are getting old, by the way.

For people who have read the manga, it's disappointing. Kabru is one of the most complex and important characters in the story, and if you base your interpretation of him and all your fandom interactions on shallow first impressions you are completely missing out.

I know part of this is because Dungeon Meshi is a comedy, but the story also wants to be taken seriously. For example, it's admittedly really funny when Chilchuck calls Laios "sick in the head", but that doesn't change the fact that the way Chilchuck casually belittles Laios caused him to hide the fact that he was "hallucinating" from his friends for weeks. Those feelings matter.

Like, this

is funny.

But this?

Is not. This is just a very clear example of a brown boy with PTSD. As someone else with PTSD, just looking at this fucking sucks, man.

The only reason why Kabru thinks about killing Laios is because he is in the middle of a flashback. He's struggling through a panic attack. If he truly wanted to kill Laios because he's violent or because he finds Laios inherently annoying, he wouldn't otherwise talk with Laios normally. Notice how he doesn't act this way at any other point in the story- it's just because he's triggered by monsters. Even when he's thinking about his plans to "deal with" Laios later, he's reluctant to actually kill him and only considers it to prevent another tragedy. Despite his deadly skills, Kabru relies far more on "soft" power- insight, persuasion, diplomacy. He's a rare example of a character who absolutely is, or at least can be, manipulative, but seems to use his abilities for good. He's not a pathological liar, he isn't looking down on everyone behind a smile. He's someone who is extremely emotionally intelligent, and he's willing to put aside all his own basic wants and needs to stop the cycle of dungeons devouring humans.

I'm going to cut a potential thesis on his character short and just give some examples of things that fandom should consider about his personality more:

Racism in fandom isn't just about whitewashing in fan art, or using racial slurs. The insidiousness of bad faith readings, reductions to racist tropes, lack of fan content for characters of color, and dismissal of a character's complexity are far more common. You can believe yourself to be completely neutral or even positive about a character and still churn out low-grade bile about them into fandom's collective unconscious. Fandom reflects real life.

And I have been around fandom long enough to see how these behaviors (mostly from my fellow white fans) affect fans of color, how it makes a fandom feel hostile and unwelcome to them. It's fun to make jokes and memes, I'm absolutely not saying that everything needs to be a deeply nuanced take, but we need to be careful that it doesn't veer into toxicity. Please think about how our contributions to fandom come across, and what sort of vibes they cultivate in this communal space.
